Back Seat

However, he was completely wrong. Ren never came back and he was left with Alie to take care on his own. The days, weeks and months went by but nothing.

Yoongi had border patrol out working many hours throughout the day and even nights. He even continued without them at night but nothing. "Did she really move far away?" The members were no where to be found. He even hacked into the cleaners cameras to stalk everyone that came in and out like if he was the owner of the place. All sorts of places that he could think about were all dead ends. He went to her mother's house but the place was abandoned. He installed cameras just in case she decided to come back. "I mean she had to, right?" He thought to himself. "What if she actually retired and is on vacation?" He really wanted to believe that one for Alie too. He would gladly join her but it was to good to be true.

"Sir, mail came in for you." A agent walked into his office.

"Thanks you can leave it on my desk." Yoongi said as he was getting an ice americano.

When he finally came to open it Yoongi didn't even see the front to see who it was from. He just assumed it was something else that he was used to seeing everyday. A simple sentence was all that was in the center of this piece of paper.

"Stop looking for me. I'm a criminal."

He looked on the envelope and it had no address. "Someone dropped it off." He told himself. Yoongi quickly began to look at the security cameras and saw Cham walk up to the building to drop it off.

"Did she finally give him a chance because she didn't love me or Alie enough?" He asked himself with so much anger. "Fine! I won't look for you anymore because I do care for the safety of Alie. I don't want her involved in your illegal stuff and don't want to die in the process of all of this." He angrily stated. Leaving Alie without a father is not part of his plans. He's going to focus on himself and Alie. She needs him more than anybody else. He thought to himself before crumbling the piece of paper and throwing it into the recycling bin.

More months went by and no show of her. After, everything he still felt hope that maybe she would come back on her own but she didn't. "What if she thought Alie died? Maybe that's why shes living guilt free." He thought but he knew that was a lie. She's her mom Ren knew better than anyone that her daughter was very well and happy with Yoongi. The doctor never saw Ren at the hospital after she was released but she didn't have to. Her intuition, mother and daughter bond is the only thing she needed. However, there was no bond or nothing. When Alie got sick that's when Yoongi began to feel hate towards her. Alie needed her more than ever and she wasn't here.

Months turned to year and then another one. The year started without her and ended without her again. Yoongi was grateful that Alie made it through another year without her. Another birthday came but she didn't show up. First day of school came too but it was just them two. "I'm glad Alie doesn't ask about her but I know she will one day. What will I say?" He asked himself.

Yoongi got called to the school he thought maybe she got sick or something but it was great news. Apparently, Alie had a very brilliant and intelligent brain of an older kid. She was very advanced in class already. He was happy but worried. However, she didn't ask about her but he knew it was coming soon. "He couldn't hide it or could he?" He thought.

"Do you like her?" Alie asked Yoongi as she sat in front of him across from his desk.

Yoongi looked at her and then at the girl she was talking about.

"Of course not! We're coworkers and friends. You know her well and me too." He quickly said.

Alie smiled and said. "It's okay. I won't be mad."

Yoongi squinted his eyes at her as he didn't understand.

"I know you won't ever talk about my mom but the people at my school do." She frowned as she informed him.

"We can move again. If you want." Yoongi immediately said as he began to look around for his things.

"No! I don't want to anymore. No matter where we go people will always ask." She looked so miserable at him like she wanted answers.

Yoongi walked around to her and held her small little hands. "What are they asking so much?" He asked.

She didn't say nothing as she knew he didn't want to talk about her mom because it hurt his feelings. Alie wanted to know though.

"Why won't you tell me?" He asked impatiently.

Alie began to cry and Yoongi sighed as he pulled her into a tight hug.

"Hey, you want me to take her home?" Analie asked as she knocked on his door to interrupt.

Alie whispered in his ear. "I told you she likes you."

Yoongi sighed and pulled away. "Thanks for helping me again." He softly smiled at her as he was very grateful for a friend like her.

"I know it's hard to be a single parent. I grew up with just my mom and then was left alone at a young age. Don't worry about a thing. You just focus on trying to graduate. Getting that degree for her." She softly smiled back at him as she held out her hand for Alie to grab.

Alie felt that maybe she could be her new mom because her name had part of hers in it. She just felt a connection but deep down all she wanted was a mom.

Analie was a part-time border patrol agent as she took care of Alie just until he graduated which was very soon.

Analie and Yoongi grew closer together that Alie called her mom. She didn't mind but it bothered Yoongi a little.

Analie said. "Just take it as a joke."

Alie nodded her head and said. "I know she's not my real mom."

Analie most of the time was joking or flirting with him most of the time unless it was a serious situation. He didn't mind as she distracted him from his thoughts about Ren. She slowly started to fade from his mind and he was happy that Alie was enjoying life more. However, he didn't want anyone to take Ren's spot because she was alive somewhere. Deep down he felt like she would come back for them but he began to have pressure from his own daughter.

Analie came running to his office. "I just got a phone call from the office. Alie got into a fight with some girls." She quickly said holding the phone in her hand.

Yoongi quickly rushed with a bad temper and took the phone. "What? She's suspended! But- yes, I'm on my way." He hanged up. "Great just great." He mumbled as he gave her back the phone.

"There's activity going on by the border again. Someone come out to arrest." They heard through the walkie-talkie.

Yoongi sighed and Analie said. "I'll go and you can go to the school."

"You sure?" He asked very guilty.

She bit her tongue.

"What? There's more?" He sighed as he saw her expression.

"I'm working full-time as of today and I didn't know how to tell you." She said with guilt.

Yoongi quickly stated. "Oh no! Don't worry about Alie. It's fine. I get it."

"Ah! You sure?" She asked not knowing how to fix things.

He smiled softly at her. "Yes! Don't worry. Okay, I have to go before I get yelled at too."

They chuckled and went their separate ways.

Yoongi begged the principal. "Please, don't suspend her for three days. I don't have anyone to take care of her and I can't miss at my job. I'm so close-"

The principal interrupted. "I don't want this to ever happen again. If it does I'll suspend her the whole week and if it continues I'll suspend her from the school."

Yoongi pouted. "No, please. I mean what about the other girls-"

"Don't worry about them. Worry about your daughter. I'm suspending her for the day. You need to talk to her and tell her that was very wrong." She said as she wrote a note for the suspension.

Yoongi nodded and left defeated. Alie was in the hallway waiting for him.

"Let's go." He said walking past her as he was very upset at her.

"Get in." He said opening the back door of the passenger seat for her.

"Why can't I ride in the passenger seat? I always ride in the front." She crossed her arms Infront of her chest.

"Because you're grounded. Get in!" He pointed in the truck.

She got in the back and signed in frustration.

"Yeah I should be the only one doing that." He said before closing the door and driving off.

"Only criminals sit back here." She reminded him.

He wanted to laugh but he held it in as he said. "Yeah you're right and your acting like one. So, I'll treat you like one."

Alie turned to look out her window.

"Why you hit those girls?" He asked.

"They were laughing at me because you replaced my real mom." She replied.

"What?! Where on earth did they get that from?" He asked trying to look back at her.

She simply just said. "I don't know."

Yoongi sighed in frustration. "Alieeee." He knew she was lying.

"Whattttttt?" She mocked him.

"I need back up ASAP! I'm by the border off of Leon St." Analie said through the walkie-talkie to inform the other agents at the office.

Yoongi answered. "I'm about a minute from there. No one come out. I got it!"

"This one dangerous!" She replied.

Alie took her seat belt off as she got a little worried.

"I got it." Yoongi confidently said.

"Put your seat belt back on!" He ordered her.

Yoongi quickly pulled up and saw Analie hair mest up. She looked like she had been fighting. He didn't notice there was another women right in front of her. Alie eyes widen and chuckled. "She's getting grounded too!"

"Be quiet and stay here." He said before getting off.

"Yoongi get back up! This girl is crazy!" Analie said holding her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" He calmly asked standing beside her trying to care for her.

"Don't! She'll attack you too!" Analie looked at her hand.

"I'll call the crew. It looks like a small cut." He assured her to calm her down. "Sit here. I'll take over." He ordered.

Alie lowered her window down a little just to hear what they were saying more clearer.

"You!" He pointed his finger at her.

"Give it to me." He ordered.

"Arrest her!" Analie yelled from behind.

"Me?! How about I arrest you?" Ren pointed the knife at her.

"Ren! Give it now!" He ordered.

Analie furrowed her eyebrows and then looked at Yoongi. "They know each other?" She thought.

Ren threw the knife on the ground right in front of his feet. "It's not even mine. It's hers! She can't even fight with her own bare hands. I don't know how you start fights and can't even finish them." She informed him.

Yoongi sighed and knew that wasn't acceptable. He put the knife in his pocket and took out some hand cuffs.

"I can walk." She said.

"Then walk." He ordered as he pointed towards the truck.

She sighed and then he grabbed her by her arm.

"What the fuk? Why you grabbing me like that?!" She tried to break free.

"I don't want you to run again." He said putting her in the back seat of the driver side of his truck.
